Stag and hen experts, Adventure Connections, say it is the 'Sten do' that takes traditional trends down! A mash-up of the separate parties, the Sten do provides a popular new way for the future bride and groom to be united before the big day. Rumoured to have been recreated by Harry and Megan, Sten dos prove to be the hottest way to party. Founder of Adventure Connections, Justin Sayers mentions that "things are changing when it comes to pre-wedding parties", so why not give it a try?

Sten dos offer a cost-effective and inclusive solution to those separate gatherings, perfect for those with a large number of guests. Those shared memories are sure to be irreplaceable. Reduce your stress and make it a rave to remember!

So why book a Sten do? Adventure Connections say there are many great reasons why couples might opt for a Sten do instead of separate gatherings.

Here are just a few suggestions why:

  • Cost-effective: The increasing cost of hen and stag do's, and the expectation to go all out on two parties can run into big budgets. Combining the celebrations can be more economical.
  • More inclusive: Sten dos allow the bride and groom to celebrate with their entire friendship group, and family too, regardless of gender. This can be a great idea for couples with mixed friend groups or those who don't want to feel excluded from their partner's pre-wedding festivities.
  • Reduced stress: Planning one event is less stressful than planning two.
  • Shared memories: A sten do creates a unique opportunity for the bride, groom, and their friends to create lasting memories together before the big day.
Make the lead up to your wedding memorable with a fun and different way to celebrate your ceremony, the experts at Adventure Connections have the top locations, activities and packages.

Birmingham took the overall crown, but Swansea's position gives the city a clear food-led break hook for travellers who want a cheaper and easier alternative to the capital. London dominates the UK for sheer restaurant volume and high-end dining, but the ranking looked beyond size alone, comparing the ratio of five-star rated food spots to total venues alongside wider guide recognition.

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question

Most wedding guests have heard the phrase "wedding breakfast", but very few stop to question it. After all, the meal is rarely served in the morning. It usually comes after the ceremony, often in the afternoon, and can involve anything from a formal three-course dinner to sharing boards, canapes, grazing tables and dessert stations.
